We’ll talk about Ida’s work in television, plus we’ll hear more of the 1991 interview with author A.M. Sperber(one of the last interviews that Ida Lupino gave). Mary Ann Anderson will join us in our second hour.

This week’s show will also include an encore presentation of Phil Gries’ look at Jackie Gleason, the short-lived prime time talk show that the Great One hosted on CBS in 1961. Though the series came about by accident (following the disastrous one-night run of Gleason’s game show, You’re in the Picture), Jackie Gleason showed that Gleason was as adept a conversationalist as he was a comedian.

All this, plus This Week in TV History and a new DVD report. It’s a full program as always, and we certainly hope you’ll join us.

An award-winning independent film actor, James Wilder is no stranger to television, with appearances in such shows as the original Melrose Place, the revival of Route 66, the comedy series Veronica’s Closet, the Emmy Award-winning drama Equal Justice, and the critically acclaimed ABC Circle Theater presentation of Cracked Up.

Actor Morgan Woodward and author Sylvia Resnick will join us on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org.

This week’s program will include a return visit from one of the most durable character actors in the entertainment industry, Morgan Woodward. Over the course of his fifty-year acting career, Morgan appeared in more than 400 film and TV productions, including 19 episodes of Gunsmoke, 12 episodes of Wagon Train, two episodes of the original Star Trek, and the classic Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke, where he won critical acclaim as Boss Godfrey, “The Man with No Eyes.” Of course, if you’re a fan of Dallas, you know that Morgan played Punk Anderson on the original Dallas for eight seasons, while Waltons fans remember his appearances as Boone Walton. Morgan Woodward will join us in our second hour.

Joining us in our first hour will be Sylvia Resnick, longtime entertainment journalist and the author of The Evolution of the Hollywood Heartthrob, a fascinating look at Old Hollywood, New Hollywood, and everything in between that also profiles some of the greatest male heartthrobs in film and TV history, from Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino, to Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Chad Everett, Robert Redford and Burt Reynolds.
